4. Install a DC circuit breaker or fused disconnect in each
positive cable within 7 inches (17.8 cm) of each battery.
Consult your local electrical codes regarding the distance
between the battery and the disconnect device. Be sure
the breaker or fused disconnect is open.
5. Route the wiring to the batteries and to the Truecharge™
2 Battery Charger. Avoid routing wiring through an
electrical distribution panel, battery isolator, or other
device that will add voltage drops.
6. Install crimp lugs on each end of the DC battery cables
using the crimp manufacturer’s instructions and tool.
7. Install the provided rubber boots over the charger end of
the DC cables. Install rubber boots over the Truecharge™
2 Battery Charger DC terminals to provide drip and
added corrosion protection. Follow the procedure on
page 2–24 to install rubber boots.
8. Route the optional battery temperature sensor (BTS)
from the battery (one which is located in the warmest
ambient temperature) to the charger location.
9. Proceed to “Planning AC Wiring”.
